Water Bottles

Help me give my students water bottles to begin the school year well hydrated.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I have asked my students to bring a water bottle to school so that they can have access to water at their desk. Less than one fourth of the students bring a water bottle. They don't bring the water bottle simply because they don't have one. This is why I am requesting a water bottle for each one of my students. It will be really useful for each student to have a water bottle, so that students avoid using the shared drinking fountain and especially because our school has a water dispenser near the cafeteria.

Please give my students the opportunity to have a water bottle that they can use all the time in their daily lives.
